A
array A group of own loudspeakers that has been congured to produce optimum sound pressure level
(SPL) and coverage in a particular venue.
B
block A group of loudspeakers from an array that has been broken down into convenient-sized groups for
transport.
bridle A method of using two steel cables connected to two lifting points on an array’s top grid, brought
together to a common point and attached to a lifting motor.
bridle leg One side of a bridle.
BRP Back rigging point. This is a back pickup point on the MTG-3D Top Grid to which a bridle leg is
attached.
C
CamLink A Meyer Sound feature that allows quick, positive, and accurate setting of splay angles in an array.
chain bag or bucket A place where the chain from lift motors is stored as the chain moves through the lift motor.
D
dead hang A lifting conguration where the lifting motors are connected directly to the lifting points on the MTD-
3D Top Grid without the use of a bridle.
dynamic load The changing weight of an array when the rigging motors are in motion, which includes the static
weight and other factors such as acceleration, bounce, and startup forces.
F
y The process of lifting an array into position in a venue.
FOH Front-of-house
front-to-back A lifting conguration where the lifting motors are attached to bridles connected to the front lifting
and rear lifting points on the MTD-3D Top Grid.
I
in or incoming Rigging term used to denote hardware moving in a downward direction.
L
laser level A device used by audio technicians to determine an array’s site angle during setup or at nal trim
position. It also has readout illumination and can be set to relative angles.
lift point That point on an array that has been designed and certied to y an approved array conguration
with the appropriate safety factor (see rigging point).
